The Heart Chakra (Anahata)

At the center of the system is the Heart Chakra, or Anahata. With the element of air, it forms a connection between the first 3 chakras focused on our placement here on Earth, through the Heart, opening us to the Spiritual realm of the next 3 chakras.

By creating a balance of giving and receiving love, you create healthy relationships with yourself and those around you. The goal is to feel joy, compassion, and a deep inner peace.

Work with Me Hi! My name is Betsy. I am a 300 hour yoga teacher and Reiki master practitioner. For 20 years, I worked as a Caregiver for children and elderly. Yoga and Reiki helped to keep me centered, taking me out of my head and in to my heart. I've spent years learning to calm my nervous system and improve my mindset through trial and error. I'm so happy to be able to use my experience to help others going through the same! I offer Reiki and 1:1 yoga sessions, recorded classes, and so much more!
